Today it’s saturday and as usual I came early from my institute. Normally I take half day on saturday so that I can relax and give myself a time. However today when I entered in my house and parked the car in the veranda. While getting off from car , I had number of enthusiastic ideas in my mind that I’d do some productive leisure activity. Changed myself and watched some hyped news about Mr Magician Modi. Then I took a nap for a while. Woke up and went to hospital to get blood test reports. Came back home. A Maggi and cup of tea was served my wife ji. Then again same boring Facebook and checking other websites, playing games on internet. I don’t why I don’t wanna indulge myself in these trivial leisure things but don’t how these futile curricular mesmerize me. I really hate it. Then deactivated the Internet and started musing over something.

I rewinded the life movie to yester years. I had the glimpse of era when we used to play cricket , football, run here and there for nothing. That was activeness and agility we had. But now these moron machines and Internet have made us slaves. Nevertheless, Internet has uncountable advantages but still you get so addicted and enticed by Internet that even if you want to abstain from using it you can’t it. Also the one of nostalgic time pass for me was sitting with beloved grandmother. I used to go to her with Gagan and most of the times I used to go alone. She used to utter less words to me. But there was kind of unsaid words which she could understand. I miss those days as well. Even if you stay online on facebook. You see those green dots in front of your friends name. I bet half of them don’t want to indulge themselves in some active work. They just want to see new pics of friends, politicians humorous pics and etc. But knowingly or unknowingly they are also slaves and are caught in shackles by Internet. Now time is 7:49 pm , Dinner is being cooked and it will be served. I’ll relish the food, again get glued to TV or this irresistible laptop/ Internet. Sometimes you feel like going to a serene place with no Internet connection or phone connection. Just a connection with green trees and a nature. But you need to have an ample money for that every time. But for a common man it’s hard to earn livelihood and bear day to day expenses. Looking at the scenario our posterity will be more passive than us.

I really want to go for physical activities but it’s arduous task. Encourage me friends give me your thoughts. We think these amenities cater our need but instead they make us sick, confined, more virtual, passive and unhealthy. But hard to quit bad habits.

Why we can’t live in past and future ? Because that is not feasible. So that’s why every quote and every sanguine says Live life in present. However, we are human at the end of day so we can not relinquish our past feeling and all emotions attached with that past. As well as we can’t run away from Future. How much would be my earning after 10 years ? Will I be able to give good life to my kids ? How’d I die ? These kind of things always haunt us. But looking at all aspects it seems to me that certainly it is quite better to live your life in present. But it’s not a piece of cake to do it. It takes hell lot of intellect, consciousness and determination I think. As a human we tend to incline towards past and future. As someone truly said “Present is the gift from God that’s why it is called PRESENT.

Being fully present in the moment is valuable, not because you will remember it as a significant event, but because the present is the only place where you really live life. If you are imagining your future, then you aren’t here now, living life, making choices. Your attention is in the future where no choices can be made. If you are afraid or angry, then you are in the past, remembering old hurts and injustices. But to heal the past you need to bring your attention to the present, otherwise you are just reinforcing the old pain. There is nothing special to do or acknowledge in order to be present. It a matter of simply Being.

I agree that many of India’s politicians are crooked and inept. However, just blaming them is simplistic. Or rather, it’s not the whole story. In my opinion, mendacious politicians are a proximate issue. It would be far more useful to figure out why India is saddled with such terrible politicians? After all, there’s no evidence that Indians are any more more crooked or inept than any other nation or race on earth. Then, how does one explain the terrible politicians?
